Vernalization in cereals
How vernalization - exposure to a period of cold - induces flowering in Arabidopsis has been intensively investigated at the genetic and moleular levels. Recent papers, including one in BMC Plant Biology, shed light on changes in gene regulation that occur on vernalization in cereals.
متن کاملGoldacre Paper The central role of the VERNALIZATION1 gene in the vernalization response of cereals
Many varieties of wheat (Triticum spp.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) require prolonged exposure to cold during winter in order to flower (vernalization). In these cereals, vernalization-induced flowering is controlled by the VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) gene. VRN1 is a promoter of flowering that is activated by low temperatures. VRN1 transcript levels increase graduallyduringvernalization,with long...
متن کاملODDSOC2 is a MADS box floral repressor that is down-regulated by vernalization in temperate cereals.
In temperate cereals, such as wheat (Triticum aestivum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare), the transition to reproductive development can be accelerated by prolonged exposure to cold (vernalization). We examined the role of the grass-specific MADS box gene ODDSOC2 (OS2) in the vernalization response in cereals. The barley OS2 gene (HvOS2) is expressed in leaves and shoot apices but is repressed by v...

fixity — the behavior of fossil organisms will be similar to the behavior of their extant descendants at the generic level — my wife and I re-constructed the type of Tertiary forest that existed in Hispaniola based on plants and animals in Dominican amber. We concluded that the amber forest in Hispaniola was similar to today’s tropical moist forest, but was much more diverse and contained a num...
متن کاملModeling branching in cereals
Cereals and grasses adapt their structural development to environmental conditions and the resources available. The primary adaptive response is a variable degree of branching, called tillering in cereals. Especially for heterogeneous plant configurations the degree of tillering varies per plant. Functional-structural plant modeling (FSPM) is a modeling approach allowing simulation of the archi...
